thrift-shopping

today was supposedly the day i pick up my made-to-order gown but as luck would have it, the dressmaker forgot to make the dress because her kids got sick. thank god i lied about when i really needed the gown and made it two weeks earlier than the actual date because i would've strangled her, sick kids or not. i could just imagine the stress i would be in had the event really been tomorrow. anyways, while i was in her little shop i decided to change the design of the gown from a below-the-knee beaded strapless satin gown to a spaghetti-strapped chiffon long gown. i wasn't sure about the beaded thingies so i opted for a simpler and safer design (in terms of making it and not because i have nothing to support the tube, haha). i just wish the gown comes out as pretty as in the magazine.

so now with that taken care of, i left the shop then proceeded to do what i do best: thrift shopping. here's what i did with my 350 pesos (about $8):

i got:
3 flannel capri pajamas (in candy stripes, popcorn and pretzel print, and polka-dots. how cute are they??)
1 cd case
a pair of socks
1 dozen emery board
a pack of hello kitty gift bags

i love my finds!
